Saudi Jets Destroy Yemeni Mosque in Ramadan


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Saudi warplanes pounded a mosque in Yemen's central Ma'rib province, killing all worshippers inside.

On Monday, Saudi jets bombed a mosque in the district of Serwah in Ma’rib and completely destroyed it in the fasting month of Ramadan, Yemen’s Saba news agency reported.

A large number of people were killed in the raid.

In addition, the kingdom’s warplanes targeted Souk Serwah market, causing huge damage to several shops there.

Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for more than two years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president.

Over 12,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
